Just that really.
Our UK guidelines don't say much about isolating within your household, unless you have a vulnerable person living with you. Also, our guidelines state 7 days/14 days from the beginning of symptoms.
The WHO are stating this though -
Caring for infected people at home may put others in the same household at risk, so it’s critical that care-givers follow WHO’s guidance on how to provide care as safely as possible.
For example, both the patient and their care-giver should wear a medical mask when they are together in the same room.
The patient should sleep in a separate bedroom to others and use a different bathroom.
Assign one person to care for the patient, ideally someone who is in good health and has no underlying conditions.
The care-giver should wash their hands after any contact with the patient or their immediate environment.
People infected with COVID-19 can still infect others after they stop feeling sick, so these measures should continue for at least two weeks after symptoms disappear.
I have been having symptoms since 23 March.
